Tasting - Lavish Menage a Trois Merlot

Label:                     ME:  

1) The Wine: Lavish Menage a Trois Merlot comes from California where it is grown with the merlot grape and has a vintage year of 2022. As said on the label, it has a smooth, plush, and dark taste to it. The bottle costs $18

2) Critic Review: Most reviews online give it a 3/5 and recommend trying the wine with veal or lamb (Review)

3) References of Flavors: Wine Folly pg 131 has the Tannin level of Merlot pretty high as well as giving it tastes of chocolate, cherry, and dried plums. I definitely noticed the cherry flavor and the tannins to it. The wine tasted lighter, but went down less smooth than other merlots I've tried. 

4) My Review: Have this wine with an Oreo! I was watching a movie while drinking the wine and eating Oreos. at first I was eating the Oreos, but I said screw it, what does wine taste like after munching on an Oreo. It brings out the acidity and chocolate flavor of the wine; something I quite enjoyed. The Oreo spread the flavors all around the mouth, rather than just the throat. (8/10)
